Your tasks
- Permaculture and Regenerative Agriculture: Orto Dell’Idro seeks an individual with a passion for permaculture and prior experience in regenerative agriculture. The ideal candidate should have some foundational knowledge and a willingness to collaborate on solutions and strategies. This role offers an excellent opportunity to deepen their expertise, apply their skills in a meaningful way, and witness the tangible outcomes of their efforts. A collection of books is also available to support further learning.
- Yoga and Holistic Wellness: The farm is looking for a yoga teacher, preferably fluent in both Italian and English, to lead occasional classes or workshops. As most students are beginners interested in meditative practices, the focus has been on gentle vinyasa and hatha yoga. There is also a desire to expand into mantra chanting and kirtan events, utilizing a small harmonium to share its soothing sounds, potentially paired with another instrument.
- Marketing, Promotion, Event Planning, and Organization: To enhance visibility both locally and internationally, the farm seeks someone experienced in marketing, promotion, and social media, as well as event planning. The ideal candidate would be capable of independently managing activities that boost the project’s exposure and attract greater participation.
- Construction and Maintenance: The farm is looking for an individual skilled in construction, masonry, and carpentry to assist the master builder and independently take on tasks. This role is ideal for a creative person passionate about crafting functional, long-lasting structures using natural materials such as local stone, bamboo, canes, and reclaimed wood.
